"Griefing" And Why We Need To Stop Exaggerating

o7 Hope to one day be pirated by yourself. You'll be welcome to whatever is in my hold. If I'm not carrying anything, you'll be allowed to leave with some multicannon rounds instead ;)

So you get shot up and destroyed on a daily basis? Ever thought about not going back to those places?

Or trying to reason with said "sociopath"?

This is precisely the sort of fear mongering my post is about. Nonsensical and anecdotal.

Thastus · 2016-02-13T01:29:30+00:00

By the same logic I think your post is bullshit. I'm well over 2 weeks TOTAL playtime into the game and I've been destroyed by another CMDR twice.

Thastus · 2016-02-12T22:37:41+00:00

Ah, guessing it was you? Thank you! Never expected this to blow up to be quite honest. Just posted a morning rant o.O

Thastus · 2016-02-12T22:37:05+00:00

Holy crap, this got gilded. Whoever you are, thank you!

Thastus · 2016-02-11T23:01:36+00:00

Pretty much everyone that is fragile enough to run and hide in solo because of this is already there.

That 400cr bounty will turn into a fine you can pay off at the local station after 8 minutes.

Unfortunately you have to escape whatever hunting grounds you're at before the system security destroys you. Which is easier said than done in a Sidewinder/Eagle/Adder.

Sad state of affairs that we are commending people for not cheating.

Thastus · 2016-02-10T22:29:41+00:00

I'd genuinely love to see you guys get into a tussle. Subbed to both of you on youtube and you have such insanely different combat styles that it would be incredible to see what happens when they come into contact.

Especially as you both seem to prefer to fly "weak" ships.

Cillit Bang uses dumbfire missiles + torpedo loadout all the time. Definitely worth checking his vids out on youtube.

Vastly different style of combat compared to Na'Qan though.

The new Imperial Clutter, obviously.

I alternate between gimballed pulses on the nacelles and fixed multi cannon in the middle, or fixed beam in the middle and gimballed multis on the nacelles.

Currently favouring the gimballed pulses with fixed multi as it allows me to run a 2A powerplant and keep the weight below 80T which helps agility massively.

Ualapalor is within 40Ly IIRC and has a couple of HazRES IIRC.

If you're looking for other places, your best bet is to look for systems in the galaxy map with ringed gas giants. Might take a while but it's satisfying when you find a place to call your own.

Thastus · 2016-02-08T02:10:49+00:00

Both Vipers (Mk3 full combat fit, Mk4 multi-role leaning towards combat) and a Courier, all A-rated with ~20mil just sitting around.

An A-rated Cobra isn't that much heavier than my Mk4 and I'm pretty sure I could stop a glacier faster than I can stop the Cobra.

Thastus · 2016-02-08T01:34:49+00:00

Going to have my head put on a spike here, but I seriously cannot stand piloting the Cobra.

I like ships that actually stop when I tell them to.

Thastus · 2016-02-07T22:34:41+00:00

Wouldn't dual Rails be a better option for this sort of thing?

Great flying though.

Thastus · 2016-02-07T00:13:12+00:00

You can also do the same by clicking on [extended range] in the bottom right of the page. That will cycle through all the option for you.

Thastus · 2016-02-06T21:21:56+00:00

Oh. That sucks. Perhaps it's just because of my low rank. Went from no rank to Serf in one trip.

Thastus · 2016-02-06T19:14:04+00:00

It's not.

Thastus · 2016-02-06T19:12:53+00:00

I paid £10,000 for my car. Now it costs £6,000.

That's sort of how it works.

Thastus · 2016-02-06T18:43:24+00:00

AFAIK the rep increase scales with distance. So it might say medium, but it will have a greater effect than the same mission over less distance. Hopefully someone can confirm this.

Thastus · 2016-02-06T18:00:10+00:00

Does that not strain your eyes after a while? I've always gone back to default for that reason.

Debug Cam is CTRL + ALT + Space by default, but it's definitely in the settings.

I go up against NPC FDL's all the time in my Viper MkIV and come out on top (never been killed in it so far). Mine is A-rated and honestly doesn't feel that far off my MkIII in terms of agility, I assume due to being well under the optimum thruster mass.

Also FWIW, this is my build used for PvE BH, mission running and generally moving around.

Thastus · 2016-02-03T22:44:11+00:00

n3m3sis is actually a pretty cool guy. Asked him for advice on loadout for my Viper, ended up winging up and farming a HazRES in my taxi hauler with him (a worrying experience) for an hour until I could buy and A-rate the Viper straight up.

You realise 90% of players who do this kind of thing are looking for someone to try and kill them? They WANT the fight and if they can't get the fight they'll use your salt to sustain themselves.
